FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The Buffalo Bills took advantage of sloppy, Tom Brady-less New England to hand the Patriots their first home shutout at Gillette Stadium, winning 16-0 on Sunday.It was the first loss of the season for New England (3-1), which was playing its final game before Brady returns from his four-game Deflategate suspension. The Patriots, who moved into Gillette Stadium in 2002, were last blanked at home 6-0 by the New York Jets in 1993 at Foxboro Stadium.Tyrod Taylor connected with LeSean McCoy for a 7-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter, Dan Carpenter added three field goals for Buffalo (2-2).It was Buffalos second win in its last 16 visits to Foxborough. Including his tenure with the New York Jets, it gave Bills coach Rex Ryan his first regular-season road victory over Bill Belichick in eight tries. The last Bills shutout win away From Orchard Park was 23-0 over Washington in a Buffalo home game at Toronto on Oct. 30, 2011.After struggling to maintain drives and finding a run-pass balance, Taylor was spot-on Sunday. He finished 27 for 39 for 246 yards, and directed a unit that was 7 for 15 on third downs. The Bills had been 10 of 36 combined in the first three games.Buffalos defense also carried over its dominant effort from its 33-18 win over Arizona, sacking rookie Jacoby Brissett three times.STEELERS 43, CHIEFS 7PITTSBURGH -- Ben Roethlisberger threw five touchdowns passes for the fifth time in his career and Pittsburgh throttled Kansas City.A week after suffering the franchises worst loss in 27 years, the Steelers (3-1) responded by overwhelming the erratic Chiefs (2-2).Roethlisberger hit Antonio Brown -- wearing cleats featuring the profile of golf great and western Pennsylvania native Arnold Palmer -- for a pair of scores.Roethlisberger also found Markus Wheaton, Darrius Heyward-Bey and Jesse James for touchdowns as the Steelers emphatically rebounded from a 31-point meltdown in Philadelphia. The quarterback finished 22 of 27 for 300 yards and a rating of 152.5, just shy of a perfect 158.3 rating.LeVeon Bell ran for 144 yards on 18 carries and caught five passes for 34 yards in his return from a three-game suspension for violating the NFLs substance abuse policy.COWBOYS 24, 49ERS 17SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Ezekiel Elliott ran for 138 yards and a touchdown and Dak Prescott threw for two scores to help the Cowboys overcome an early 14-point deficit to beat the 49ers.The Cowboys (3-1) fell in a 14-point hole early in the second quarter before taking over the game behind a pair of rookies who have helped the team get off to a fast start this season with starting quarterback Tony Romo sidelined by a back injury.Prescott threw for 245 yards and had a 20-yard touchdown pass to Terrance Williams and a 4-yarder to Brice Butler to tie the game at the half.Elliott then took over with 96 yards rushing in the second half, including a 1-yard run that gave Dallas the lead for good late in the third quarter.Blaine Gabbert got off to a fast start to help San Francisco (1-3) take the early lead but struggled to generate any offense after that.RAIDERS 28, RAVENS 27BALTIMORE -- Derek Carr threw four touchdown passes, the last to Michael Crabtree with 2:12 left.After the Ravens rallied from a nine-point deficit in the fourth quarter to go ahead with 3 + minutes remaining, Carr directed a 66-yard drive that ended with a 23-yard strike to Crabtree in the back of the end zone.Carr went 25 for 35 for 199 yards. Three of his TD passes went to Crabtree, who finished with seven catches for 88 yards to help Oakland (3-1) to its third road win.The Ravens (3-1) trailed 14-3 in the second quarter and 21-12 with 11:11 to go before coming back.A 52-yard touchdown pass from Joe Flacco to Steve Smith cut the deficit to 21-19. Ravens defensive tackle Lawrence Guy then forced a fumble by DeAndre Washington, and Baltimore recovered at the Oakland 17.Four plays later, Terrance West scored from the 3 to give Baltimore its first lead.FALCONS 48, PANTHERS 33ATLANTA -- Matt Ryan shredded Carolinas defense, passing for a team-record 503 yards and four touchdowns, Julio Jones had 12 receptions for a Falcons-record 300 yards. The totals by Ryan and Jones are the most ever allowed by Carolina.One week after being held to one catch in a win at New Orleans, Jones had a 75-yard scoring catch late in the game as Atlanta solidified its early hold on the NFC South lead.Carolina quarterback Cam Newton, the 2015 league MVP, left in the fourth quarter and was evaluated for concussion symptoms after taking a hit from Deion Jones on a successful 2-point run. There appeared to be helmet-to-helmet contact but there was no penalty on the hit.The defending NFC champion Panthers (1-3) scored three fourth-quarter touchdowns, including scoring passes from Newtons replacement, Derek Anderson, to tight end Greg Olsen and Corey Brown. Robert Alfords 30-yard interception return for a touchdown with 1:14 remaining clinched the win for the Falcons (3-1).`BRONCOS 27, BUCCANEERS 7TAMPA, Fla. -- Paxton Lynch made his NFL debut sooner than expected, stepping in for injured starter Trevor Siemian to help the Broncos remain unbeaten with a victory over the Buccaneers.Siemian left the game with two minutes remaining in the first half with what the defending Super Bowl champions described as an injury to his left (non-throwing) shoulder. He remained in uniform and watched the second half from the sideline, wearing a baseball cap while Lynch -- the 26th pick in this years draft- finished the Broncos ninth consecutive win.Siemien threw a touchdown pass to Demaryius Thomas, capitalizing on Aqib Talibs interception and 25-yard return to the Bucs 11 on Tampa Bays opening possession. The ex-Buc cornerback also set up another first-half TD with a second interception that led to C.J. Andersons 1-yard run for a 14-7 lead.For the second straight week, play was stopped in the fourth quarter at Raymond James Stadium because of inclement weather. The game was suspended for 1 hour, 26 minutes with 6:52 remaining Sunday, with only a few thousand fans returning to their seats for the conclusion.SAINTS 35, CHARGERS 34SAN DIEGO -- Drew Brees led New Orleans to two touchdowns in the final 4 minutes, 50 seconds to rally the Saints to a stunning victory against Philip Rivers and the Chargers, who blew a 13-point lead by committing two crucial turnovers..Brees overcome two interceptions to win in his return to San Diego, where he played his first five NFL seasons before being allowed to leave as a free agent. It was also the first win this season for the Saints (1-3).After the final gun, Brees ran over to the stands and greeted Saints fans.With the Chargers (1-3) trying to protect a 34-21 lead, Melvin Gordon fumbled and Darryl Tapp recovered at the San Diego 13, setting up Brees 5-yard TD pass to Michael Thomas on fourth-and-2 to pull to 34-28 with 4:50 to go.Travis Benjamin then fumbled after a reception and Nate Stupar recovered at the San Diego 31.

A facemask penalty against Ifeanyi Momah moved the ball to the 19 and the Rams went ahead when Quick caught a pass under tight defense for the score.Arizona backup Drew Stanton was intercepted twice in the final minutes, including on a Hail Mary on the games final play.JAGUARS 30, COLTS 27LONDON -- Blake Bortles threw for two touchdowns and ran for another as Jacksonville held off a furious Indianapolis Colts rally for the Jaguars first win of the season. The victory at a raucous Wembley Stadium elevated Jacksonville into a tie with Indianapolis at 1/3 in the AFC South.Andrew Luck led the Colts on three fourth-quarter touchdown drives to rattle the Jaguars nerves. But his fourth-and-1 pass at the Jacksonville 49 with 1:36 remaining fell from the hands of tight end Dwayne Allen to preserve the victory for under-fire Jaguars coach Gus Bradley.The Jaguars got a semblance of a running game going for the first time this season. T.J. Yeldon carried 13 times for 68 yards and Bortles added seven scrambles for 36 yards, including a 1-yard run that put Jacksonville ahead 14-6 midway through the second quarter.The Colts repeatedly self-destructed on offense with dropped balls and another costly Luck interception that led to Jacksonvilles opening touchdown. The Colts proved just as reckless on defense as pass interference and unnecessary roughness penalties extended three Jacksonville scoring drives.The Jaguars led 23-6 after three quarters before the Colts mounted a tenacious comeback.SEAHAWKS 27, JETS 17EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Russell Wilson was sharp and efficient despite playing with a sprained knee, throwing three touchdown passes.Wilson injured the medial collateral ligament in his left knee last week against San Francisco and wasnt his usual mobile self in this one, but his arm was plenty good.

He finished with minus-5 yards on five rushes for Seattle, which has a bye next weekend.Wilson helped Seattle, making the first of three East Coast trips this season, improve to 8-5 in its last 13 games with a 1 p.m. Eastern start time.Richard Sherman had two interceptions and Earl Thomas one as Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Jets couldnt get much going against the NFLs No. 1-ranked defense.REDSKINS 31, BROWNS 20LANDOVER, Md. -- Kirk Cousins threw three touchdown passes, including two to tight end Jordan Reed, and the Washington Redskins cashed in on several trips to the red zone.The Redskins (2-2) scored four red zone touchdowns against the Browns (0-4) after going 3 for 14 in their first three games.

But turnovers on three consecutive second-half possessions cost Cleveland a chance at its first victory.TEXANS 27, TITANS 20HOUSTON -- Will Fuller had a tiebreaking 67-yard punt return for a touchdown. It was the first time Houston (3-1) played without its star defensive end J.J. Watt since the 2010 season.

Fuller, who ran a 4.32 40-yard dash at the combine, took the punt and quickly made a trio of Titans miss before outrunning everyone else down the sideline for the score.BEARS 17, LIONS 14CHICAGO -- Brian Hoyer threw for 302 yards and two touchdowns, and the Bears (1-3) got a win after starting 0-3 for the second time in as many seasons under coach John Fox.They also stopped a six-game home losing streak as well as a six-game slide against Detroit (1-3), though things got tight near the end.Chicago was leading 17-6 when Andre Roberts returned a punt 85 yards for a touchdown. Golden Tate then caught a 2-point conversion pass from Matthew Stafford to cut it to 17-14 with 1:52 left, but the Bears recovered the onside kick.Hoyer was on target in his second straight start with Jay Cutler nursing a sprained right thumb. He was 28 of 36 passes against a defense missing the injured Ezekiel Ansah and DeAndre Levy.Eddie Royal caught seven passes for 111 yards and a touchdown.

Perhaps the words of the Girl Scout promise, or failed attempts at pitching a tent with your family or friends, pop into your head.While most have these vivid outdoor memories, my introductory course in camping came on Sept. 9-11, when I -- along with over 200 women aged 17-67 from across the globe -- flocked to Powder Mountain Resort in Eden, Utah, for the Outessa Summit.The event, which was created in partnership with outdoor gear brand Recreational Equipment Inc. (REI), claimed to be every womans outdoor weekend adventure, and I welcomed the challenge.Here, Ive unapologetically chronicled how I overcame fears, pushed my body to its limits, and learned to appreciate the spoils of nature.Arriving in Eden, UtahOnce on resort grounds, REI staffers welcomed us to our sleeping quarters for the next three nights: personal tents stocked with the brands Big Agnes Ethel Sleeping Bag for women. As a first-timer, I had my doubts that the tent-and-bag combo would keep me warm in the 30-degree weather, so I piled on the layers before zipping myself in.To my surprise, I woke up periodically to peel away the layers. First, the socks. Then the gloves. And eventually, I unzipped the sleeping bag to allow a bit of cool air in. However, the whispers of wildlife and the sound of tents flapping in the wind startled me a few times throughout the night. But this was an adventure, and I was up for a life-changing experience, so I eventually overcame the white noise and embraced the possibilities.Initially, I was apprehensive about the whole outdoor bathroom situation. Which, to my delight, was far more civil than I expected. There were rows of portable restrooms, and a trailer of showers. So, with the posh sleeping bag and potties, to say we were roughing it would be a bit of an exaggeration.Day 1:Morning yogaWe kicked off the first full day at Outessa with an early-morning yoga session. The weather was on the chilly side, so I welcomed any activity that would increase my heart rate and most importantly, warm my body up. ?Our instructor, climber and Ashtanga Vinyasa practitioner Olivia Hsu?started the class with a brief introduction and breathing exercises. Soon after, we were all steadied in the Downward Dog pose. Most of us who began in coats, bubble vests and heavy sweaters shed the layers with each passing movement. By the closing om, I was ready to conquer the rest of the day.Outdoor photography hikeI couldnt leave Eden without a hike through Powder Mountains scenic trails. And if I was going to brag about climbing nearly 9,000 feet, I knew Id need the photos to prove it. REI photo pro Susan Beth Sloan guided our team of nine on a two-hour climb, teaching us how to capture the views along the way. Sloan offered tips on composition, adding depth to photos and working with outdoor lighting when the sun is at its highest. The best part? I walked away with a workout -- plus Instagram-worthy photos. #GoalsHandstands? Oh, yes you can! After a quick bite, the gymnast in me hopped at the opportunity to hang upside down with instructor Traci Dinwiddie. Literally. Dinwiddies technique for getting beginners into a handstand position starts with what she calls a bunny hop. Though Ive done quite a few in my life, I followed her lead, gripping the ground with my fingers spread wide and jumped into the handstand position. Cynic that I am, I wondered if there was a method to what seemed like madness -- how dare one break traditional gymnastics technique.The first principle is always finding the foundation, she explained after the class wrapped. If you open your fingers as widely as possible and claw the ground with the fingertips as well as the finger pads, it takes the weight load out of the inner, outer and center of the wrist. It expands the foundation to the outer edges of your fingertips so that the wrist is really balancing in its socket.?Day 2:Documenting the adventureAt sunrise, I joined photographer Chris Burkard on a hike to photograph world champion mountain biker Rebecca Rusch, Olympic marathoner Magdalena Lewy-BBoulet and former competitive ice hockey player-turned-semi-pro runner Aliza Lapierre.dddddddddddd Since I didnt quite master the art of action photography, I extended my lesson with Burkard in a more intimate environment -- the classroom. Pen and paper in hand, I took notes on composition, creating timeless images and defining a personal photography style.Of course, when youve got face time with a famed photographer such as Burkard who has racked up nearly 2 million followers on Instagram, you sneak in a few social media questions. PSA: Burkard is not a fan of meaningless quote captions. Give people a visceral experience with your captions, he said. Why are you quoting someone else when you can quote yourself? Instead, share information about the photo that your followers cant see. Duly noted!Lunch is servedNaturally, I worked up an appetite during our hike so I headed back to the Sky Lodge Deck, the meeting grounds where campers and instructors gathered throughout the day to re-energize with snacks, meals, coffee, or even a cold beer or wine. On site was a DIY sandwich buffet complete with all the fixings -- sliced turkey breast, hearty roast beef, potato salad, mixed vegetable chips, and more.Throughout the duration of my trip, we feasted on a variety of healthy offerings, but a quick and delicious sandwich was a convenient go-to. Because our meals were catered, participants werent tasked with cooking over an open fire.?However, we did roast marshmallows, which was a welcomed treat.Mid-day trail run After about an hour on the ElliptiGO (a hybrid of an elliptical machine, treadmill and stationary bike), my legs had about one more activity left in them. However, running wasnt it. Within the first 10 minutes of the three-mile, easy-to-moderate-pace run, I forced the class instructors Adam Chase and Lapierre to lag behind with me as I ricocheted between jogging slowly on flat land and walking uphill. (Lets blame it on the ElliptiGO, shall we? Or the high altitude?) In the end, Chase and Lapierre were incredibly patient and helped me reach the finish line alive. Get this: I turned around and did the entire route again on my way to dinner. Read: will hike for food!?Then my sleeping bag and I got cozy.?Day 3:?Rock climbingIn hopes of ending the weekend on a high note, I decided that Id select an activity that challenged me both mentally and physically. Just hours before my return flight back home to Chicago, I found myself clinging to the side of a mountain with adventure climbers Heidi Wirtz and Quinn Brett cheering me on. I made it to the top of the mountain, combating my fear of heights, and got a great upper-body workout in process. ?Worth It?One word: Absolutely! It was incredibly empowering?to be surrounded by such phenomenal ladies. The instructors welcomed women of all skill levels in each course -- from rock climbing to photography, and prompted a judgement-free environment.Not once did I feel out of place, not even when I lagged behind during my mid-day run. We laughed, cried, formed friendships and encouraged one another to try new things.?The event, which if you purchased a 3-day all access pass (it includes camp-based lodging), cost just under $1,000. That might sound steep; but it was truly a life-changing, self-actualizing ... priceless moment.I went to Utah for my first camping trip and left with a newfound appreciation for outdoor activities that I vow to keep up with at home. (No, seriously -- I promised my husband weekly outdoor cycling dates.) If I werent back at sea level, Id shout from the highest mountain that the Outessa Summit is a game-changer.Lyndsay Green is a Chicago-based style and travel editor and founder of Beauty Atlas magazine, a destination guide for beauty enthusiasts.
